Canada was excoriated as a racist, hypocritical failure Tuesday as MPs who don't intend to seek re-election said their official farewells to Parliament. "People like me don't belong here in the federal institution," she told the House of Commons. "The reality is that this institution and the country has been created off the backs, trauma and displacement of Indigenous People." Marcil asserted that Canada "stole" the 1995 referendum on Quebec independence and stole its symbols — the maple leaf and the beaver — from Quebec. The only distinguishing cultural feature, he added, is hockey — and even then, he noted, the Toronto Maple Leafs can't win.
